I am looking to install MSDE along with my software. When we click the MSI for the software it should be able to install the MSDE and run the dbscripts once MSDE is installed.
This is how it works:
User gets a CD withthe MSI.
User will click the MSI to install the software
During the install process, we want to install the MSDE
Start the msde instance
Run the db scripts on the msde
Make relevant changes on the connection string in the dbgconfig file which can be used by the application to use this db instance
Make appropriate directory structure as expected by the program
user our product license key generator to create a license key and update the database
Install the software which is developed in C#
Launch the software once the setup is completed.
All this should happen in one go .
